Was about to move up to 50nl but cashed my roll down to 200 to move to san diego. Playing my first serious session since the move and i've made 100 bucks in 950 hands of 10nl on ftp. So far so good lol. Haven't played enough this month to get much rakeback but when it comes in i shoudl have enough to play 25nl then hopefully 50nl relatively soon.

Don't have comp down here yet otherwise i'd post pt stuff.

So I wont say anything


Kidding.
Poker:
Sucks. I've managed to run even worse after the first day. I'm still down for the month, and life still sucks.

School:
I was actually looking forward to having something to do in between sessions (ie. class, read, etc.) but theres nothing like one day in class makes you appreciate summer vacation. Summary, been to two classes, have 3 chapters to read + 1 assignment + 1 30min online tutorial on plagirism

Life:
I have a pretty old cordless phone in my room. Last night it started ringing when their was no call (1 ring, followed by interference) about once a hr. I unplugged the adapter before going to bed. Thats the end of it, right? Of course not or else why the fuck would I blog about it. The phone itself is on rechargeable batteries or w/e, the type with a base for the phone to stand/recharge. The phone ran out of batteries at 5am and started ringing. With it being right next to my fucking head, it woke me up. So I had a total of 3 1/2 hrs of sleep last night and had fucking migraines all day.

Brag: Coke Blak was on sale, 4 for $1. Parents bought 24.
Beat: Coke Blak is disgusting
Variance: Its free for me

So in the morning I played some nl300 6max and won like 3 buyins. Later on I decided to play some nl200 HU and ran good at the beginning and then I got some tough beats and coolers. I had a 1,3k stack at one of the two tables I was playing and some guy took from me everything but $270. He didn't leave though and after a long match I was able to win everything back from him + his initial $200. Here is the last hand:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266459

The match was crazy and so were the swings. Here is the graph and PT stats from today:

http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/4714/sicklh3.jpg

I don't think I've ever played that many hands in one day. Keep in mind that when I play 6max I play 4 tables at once and when I play HU I play 2 tables at once.

I had to cashout like 2,5k today for the beginning of uni, books and that kinda stuff. That means that right now my BR is about 12,2k so it's pretty good. I'll continue to play nl300 (and nl200 if the traffic isn't big enough at nl300) for the most part with an occasional HU session. I think I'll take a shot at nl400 when I hit 14k again.

I feel really good about my game. I think I made like 2 or 3 small/medium mistakes today but apart from that I made some good plays, calldowns, laydowns etc etc and generally played pretty good. I have to start reviewing my session though. Usually when I finish playing I'm too tired to go through the stats and hands in PT but I'll try to do it next day in the morning. I need to start browsing forums more and discuss hands and stuff. I haven't watched any CR vids for a long time too so I should probably download some recent ones.

Apart from poker, my friend organised a small party yesterday at his aunt's flat (she went abroad for like 2 weeks and left him keys). I had quite a bit of whisky and vodka and got pretty drunk. Today I woke up and almost couldn't breathe. I'm allergic to cats, and my friend's aunt has one. I hate this allergy thingy.

Tommorow I'm going out probably. I don't really want to cause I'm ultra tired because of the last month of partying/drinking etc but I promised my friends to hit the club with them and apart from that, my other mate has his birthday (I don't like the club in which he's organising a party though).

And some random pic of me (when 6yrs old) ballin hard on a skateboard:

Bad news first.

Played a 22$ deekstack tourney and bubbled with 4th highest stack. hand went like this.
UTG limp, MP limp, villain limps. I am on CO with 88. I pop it up. Villain calls flop comes

AA5, villain c/min raise me and i figure he either has 55 or a bluff so i raise him back and he turns over AJ....

Now good news.
While playing the tourney for 6hours I played some 400NL and ran good.

Hi everybody

I was winnig 6 days in a row now and i hope this wont change.
Today started so bad at NL 25

I lost 4 buy ins in the first 400 hands.
some coolers but also some very bad play T_T

KK vs JJ set
straight vs flush
2 pair vs straight
AQ o AQT flop vs KJ ....

and such things

dont know , but after i lost the first 50 $ i suddenly stopped playing good ... i played like the shittiest NL5 noob ever
and i think i was totally confused.

so i went down like 90 $ at about hand 400 ...

And i was like Hell ... i am gonna take a break of 25 mins now , eat some Pizza , drink some coke and then go back to work and earn my money back with solid concentrated play !

i put in good 1300 hands session 6 tabling and made most of the money back. ( + 79 $ in this 1300 hands)

I am still down for 11$ today though.

I will change this in an evening session and bring Day 7 into green !


For now i am gonna watch one of my trainings partners
fight a local MMA fight.

starts in like 1 h
nothing big
but i think its gonna be funny since its an open weight fight.
my training partner is 1,87m 85Kg and mostly a kickboxer
his enemy is 1,79 110 KG and a Boxer.


GL ALl

Edit _

here is the final graph for today ...
since i am too lazy i just took the last 3 days and cut off the first 2 days with paint ...
at around 2700 you can see the evening session

http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/7320/pokerjq0.jpg


As u can see --- Rollercoaster.

50 % was bad play and 50% was coolers

did play my C - game today T_T

deary me what a dreadful night. I think I forgot how to play again.

Biggest hands (that I lost) - calling too much i think and reading too many threads in strat forum here has made me think i need to push with tptk (balla c/r turn style)!

Comments and instruction would be great please! Thanks guys

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266136 -- I played this terrible - so obvious i was beat i shoulda just called or folded. This was the first one i lost for the night which put me on momentary tilt (see QQ hand coming up later)

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266138 -- Seriously wtf is this? I can't call that bet on that board the way this was played can I? wobbly said I can't fold if i call the min raise on the turn but offered nothing else - would like comments on how i should played this through

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266141 -- Coulda got away from this but not after a couple of beats in quick succession (tilt)

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266142 -- Plain fucking dreadful

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266143 -- Standard crap

I only won one hand for $42. second biggest pot was $10. I really felt like I played crap tonight which i think you will all agree with quite easily.

NEGATIVE 3 BUYINS.. GN all GL HF (fun?)

Something must be wrong with my poker grapher, because I instantly started out down 70k on the day from playing SimpleMath headsup at 100/200, (Eventually I was only down 49k to him before he left). I had 100% of myself and thought I played sub-par, but I think I have an edge and will continue to play him.

After he quit me I went over to Prima 50/100, and started winning it back, I only had 40k or so on my prima account, but F bankroll management or whatever. I started off down 10k, but then couldn't stop flopping sets and was soon even on the day. I went back to stars 25/50 and played for awhile, was up a bit more, then got curb stomped on stars while losing a few big pots on prima. Back down 25k. More 25/50 and 50/100 Prima grinding, F stars. Eventually I was at my high point on the day. +25k (I am actually up more because before i started my NLHE session i won 7.5k in PLO).

I told my opponents I was playing HU that I was leaving in 15, and then it went to shit, lost back to -2k, where I quit.

I am actually up 5k on the day or so, but I wasn't counting PLO in this whole description.

anyway, sicklife

http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/5373/crazyswing1jp5.jpg

I also won and lost my biggest hands today
Hand 1: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266000
We were exactly 50/50 to win this hand on the flop, and I think his call is bad vs me.

Hand 2: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265992
standard, rigged hand

Hand 3: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266058
I can only assume he has AA or 66 here, I don't think hes ever bluffing. I guess he can have KK too, or some retarded bluff.


I played alot of other sick hands today too that I posted, alot of them are really interesting if you check them out

I’m really happy right now cuz I just started playing nl50 today and Im running really good right now. I had been working hard trying to get ready for nl50 and it seem to pay off. I hope this winning keeps up because I will move up when I log in 100k+ hands of nl 50 and when I feel im ready to move up.


I Got 7k hands in today and im going to keep playing after my break.

I have a 2 monitor setup and on my left monitor i had most of my mspaint works lined up.

I recently went through and looked at all of them and realized i hadnt posted a few on the blog because i drew them for friends or girlfriends.

I cant really think of anything to draw right now so ill post some of my past works. here is part of my gallery


A scene from the movie boogie nights:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/fullflip.JPG


my ex and i used to listen to a lot of nine inch nails, and she was particularly afraid of this song on the fragile called 'pilgrimage'. it reminded her of the urukhai from lord of the rings.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/rawwwwwwrrrrrrrr.JPG


the last day of college during undergrad there was this weird lady sitting near the dumpster collecting some of the stuff students were throwing out for a garage sale the school was running. my ex and i gave her a microwave and she exclaimed "OOOOHHH TREASURESSSSSS" it was worthy of trying to draw a picture

http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/butchered.JPG


i was watching a dog show with the same ex as above and there was this silly looking dog called the bedlington that came on. take a look at this funny creature (yes it really is a dog):
http://www.pups4sale.com.au/bedlington_terrier_03a.jpg

i go "jesus that thing looks like a sheep"
she yelled at me and said "NOOO! ITS A LAAAAAAAAAMB"

http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/best_in_show.JPG


as i look at these i think back to what a fish mspainter i used to be. one day i will be the best. im going to start reviewing my sessions and taking responsibility for all of my mspaints. if i want to be the best i have to put in the time and effort and review every drawing and really cut down on tilt.

this will also help:
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/tutorial/mspaint


a nice little mspaint tutorial. with these hints i will be unstoppable.

Hi all, i joined LP about 2 months ago, have been here everyday reading the blogs and the forums but not really got involved yet. I thought it was about time i introduce myself and make a blog.

I started playing at the micro stakes a few years ago after i lost interest in starcraft and wanted somthing to do that was worth my time. I think i deposited at party and lost it all pretty fast, redeposited and lost it again. lol. I gave up.

Recently started again but promised myself i will actually try to be a better player, things are going pretty weel so far. I deposited $600 at fulltilt so i could get the full bonus, over the last 2 months i grinded that up to $750 4 tabling NL10 6 max. I also wasted alot on tourneys only cashing once for $84. My plan was to move up to nl25 when i had 30 buy-ins.

So i hit $750 last weekend and didn't play till today, prepairing myself the NL25. i played 1.5k hands today.

Im quite pleased with the results and would like some comments on my stats.

http://img230.imageshack.us/my.php?image=statsseptfa8.jpg

Heres some hands i would like some advise for:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265798 TT,little bets were confusing so i felt i had to go with this one..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265799 KK, i think my turn bet was pathetic looking back on this.. i knew he was chasing a flush.. this hand taught me a good lesson anyway!

Ive definatly identified my major weak spot recently though. i just can't seem to play pairs when any over cards are on the board.. i end up folding like a pussy when i get raised or bet into..

I was supposed to go out drinking today but all my friends are stupid and figured that they should study and such crap instead. Faggots. I played some more poker and won a bi on NL200. I still run pretty slow so far this month and I'm up like 500 USD or so over 12k hands. I have a small bet with a friend and I'll try to get 60k hands this month. I feel that I'm getting my game in the right direction lately and that in addition with the fact that I'm putting in a lot of hands feels really nice. I really, really want to get a decent 5 figure roll back on track asap and if I hit a nice little heater I'll do it in a month or two. The more likely outcome is that I'll get there in november or whatever but that's ok with me too.

Anyway, I've started looking at hands more in PT and it really helps I think. I also try to tighten up a tiny bit and now I'm running at about 27/22 and I'll try to get it down to like 25/20 I guess. Overall I try to get a more solid style of play.

A friend of mine has a moving in party on friday and that might be really cool. Tiny girl will probably be coming and this time I'll try to drink a bit less so that my stuff might work better, lolz.

Ugly girl from earlier posts also initiatied contact with me a few days ago and she lives between home and Standard Party Location I might drunkcall her next time I have to walk home alone. Hoppfully hilarity will ensure.

After a monster afternoon session I will be moving up to 25nl this evening if I play. I had some sick hands one where I won 4.5 buyins with a set over set deep. Lets hope the good run continues.

I find it impossible to get hands in when I know I'm gonna lose.

Morning weight: 176.5 (that's 7 lbs in 7 days).

Hmm, it looks like I kind of slacked on my updates, eh? Sorry for the lack of pics, I couldn't really think of anything else to take a picture of :/

Okay, so I pussed out, and quit after 7 days (suppose to go 10).

I'll recap the last few days...

Friday (Day 4)

Had to work at the bar. Came home quick after my day job, made a gallon of the drink, went to work. Noticed a lack of energy right away as the nightly rush started. Tipped my barback an extra $50 to stay late and do all the cleaning for me.

Saturday (Day 5)

Took the TANKMAN to a street festival that's going on around here. Sipped lemonade all day long. Very relaxing day.

Sunday (Day 6)

My family had a huge dinner. I sat in the corner like a sad sack, and sipped my lemonade as delicious food/drink was being passed around. Painted a dresser in my room because it "didn't go with the rest of the bedroom furnituer"

Monday (Day 7)

LABOR DAY! And the last day of the cleanse for me!

Usually one of my favorite holidays of the year, this one was especially sucky. Went to a couple BBQ's, but didn't stay long. BBQ's are much less fun when you're not drinking/eating Watched Superbad - very funny.

Tuesday (Day 8)

I woke up in the morning, and took the most productive crap of the entire cleanse. I mean...it looked like a regular poo for me, it was sort of scary, actually. Where the fuck is all of this shit coming from?? This was almost enough to motivate me to keep going for another 2 days...almost.

Breaking The Cleanse

Now, as you may have guessed, it's not as simple as devouring a double cheeseburger once you've gone 7+ days without solid food.

The first day, it's recommended to drink nothing but fresh orange juice. So, all day and night Tuesday, I was drinking orange juice...yummers. I could actually feel my stomach reacting to the orange juice too.

It's kind of weird...I don't feel like my stomach is weak right now, I mean, I totally think I could take down a whole large pizza by myself. But biology disagrees, I'm afraid

TODAY (Day 9)

The 2nd day after the cleanse is OJ in the morning/afternoon, and plain vegetable broth at night , with fresh raw vegetables if you're feeling up to it.

Well...I sort of cheated, and had some veggie broth today at lunch, and let me tell you...it was probably the best soup I've tasted in a real long time

Tomorrow (Day 10)

Tomorrow I will have OJ for breakfast, veggie broth for lunch, and light supper consisting of boiled chicken, and greens.

And it's fucking on like Donkey Kong on Friday - I have full plans to get completely fat/drunk Friday night *)

--

Conclusion

So, after all is said and done, am I glad I did it? Well, with anything that's mildly annoying/challenging, you're glad you've done it once it's over with. I guess a better question would be whether or not I'd do it again. And I'll be honest with you: I probably won't.

I'm not 100% convinced that the help to my body was worth it. However, the fact that I had consistent movements throughout this entire process (without the use of laxatives) is definitely something proponents of the cleanse can hang their hats on. I just don't feel much different, ya know? I don't know, maybe once I'm off it, I'll change my mind.

Anyhow, that's about it! To anyone thinking of trying this: I would be absolutely sure you want to go through with it before starting. It's no walk in the park, also this is not a diet. You should fully expect to gain back any weight you lose during the cleanse.

- Cory
